Try to guess the bird in each blown-up, blurry, cropped image! Sounds like fun, right?

LOl ... I think its fun!
#1 - an owl
#2 - a hawk
#3 - a loon

but I cant guess on species.

3 is a Black-throated Loon/Diver. Can't say what the others are.

Nope.....not a Black-throated, Jyothi. Brat has certainly helped to narrow it down!
